Dihedral rigidity for cubic initial data sets

Abstract

In this paper we pose and prove a spacetime version of Gromov's dihedral rigidity theorem (Gromov, Li) for cubes when the dimension is 3 by studying the level sets of spacetime harmonic functions (Stern, Bray-Stern, Hirsch-Kazaras-Khuri), extending the work of Chai-Kim. As a corollary, we also obtain an alternative proof of dihedral rigidity for prisms in hyperbolic space (Li). We then discuss the relation between polyhedra and the spacetime positive mass theorem. This generalises the work of Miao-Piubello and Li. Finally, we show dihedral rigidity of charged Riemannian cubes by charged harmonic functions (Bray-Hirsch-Kazaras-Khuri-Zhang).
